| Abstract
|
This document describes an extension to the Session Initiation
Protocol (SIP). The purpose of this extension is to create a means
for publishing and retrieving information regarding services in the
network by using SIP.
The methods described in this document allow a framework by which
arbitrary service data can be transported into the network for
use by services running in the network. It is not intended to be
a general-purpose mechanism for transport of arbitrary data as
there are better suited mechanisms for this purpose (ftp, etc.),
but is intended to be a simple, light-weight, mechanism that
employs SIP in order to support SIP-related services. It is
envisioned that each service that employs this method may
extend and provide more detail as to how that service interacts
with the mechanisms put forth in this draft.
